My brother thinks puns are the highlight of joking. I used to sit and count how many he tried to use. One conversation he got up to ten trying to get a laugh. No pun in ten did.
I remember reading about a study done a while back, though I don't remember the exact details. They were trying to find out if people found puns to be funny by reading ten puns to subjects and seeing if they laughed. Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.
I've laughed at puns quite a bit. Maybe I'm just weird.
On of my favorites is when I was doing a ship battle in eve-online against my brother and he jammed my guns so I couldn't "lock on" to his ship.
Then over voice I hear "How do you lock me now?"
I dont think I've ever seen a pun go down well in a social situation. Honestly - I'm trying to rack my brains...
I mean I've seen people chuckle as they groan, but unlike other jokes, they dont seem to go down as well. I think its almost as thought the pun itself doesn't matter because you just chose to share a pun.
We have a mate who loves them. Its gotten to the point now where people stare straight ahead and dont acknowledge it as if not to encourage him. Which is unfair, because occasionally they are ok.

I watch Craig Fergeson on my DVR, so I just saw this last night, but it must have been from... last Thursday. Fantastic, though. I don't think I can do it justice, but here's the basics:
There was this invisible bisexual leprechaun running around here yesterday on Psychic day. He was making tons of noise and being annoying. He was very suave in his shiny green hat, etc. Well, it turns out he wasn't actually a bisexual.
He was a metro-gnome.

So there's these two kayakers on a weekend expedition. They're going down the river when the weather turns bad and starts to blizzard. So the kayakers return to the bank and flip their kayaks upside down together to make a shelter. This is all dandy, but while they were dry, they were still cold. So they decide to build a fire, which in turn ignites the kayaks and destroys their shelter, leaving them out in the cold.

I'm sorry gentlemen, but to be frank your puns are terrible.
At least they go furter than yours.
I wouldn't short yourself; by any ackraut that was a worthy submission.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
I have to wonder how you were brat up as a child, making puns like that.

I've been grilled on the forums before, but this just isn't kosher, its not even in the ballpark of acceptable.

You know the best thing about double entendres? There are two of them.
Not german to the thread, but that pun really lacked polish.
I'm afraid this has been done before - if you're going to steal someone elses puns, at least sauce them from somewhere else.

D'aww beat me to it.
I think you missed the real meat of his post. Before you come up with some cheesy reply, i suggest you sit on your buns and think for a while.

Ha! I like your attitude.
I play pun games at shows
in that situation they are limited to five minutes of show where everyone acknowledges they are terrible
Isn't that why people make puns in real life?
When can we meet.
I would be embarrassed for the both of us
well i wouldn't want to put you through that punisment!
But I'll let you in on a big secret: Poetry's verse.
Ode dear... I hope no one here is elegiac to puns.
man i got so beat'd, i miss the edit button
i don't think i should go any furter
I'm sure we're all watching your pain with relish
Yeah, it took us 50 pages to run out of hot dog puns. I bet if you were to stick the posts together it would at least be a footlong

Alternately,
I dunno, it sounds like you've got a beef with the other poster.
I just got here so I need to ketchup. I have going to earlier but I only now mustard the energy to reply.
